James 2:8-16

James 2:8-16

[8] If  ye fulfil  the royal  law  according to  the scripture,  Thou shalt love  neighbour  as  thyself,  ye do  well:  [9] But  if  ye have respect to persons,  ye commit  sin,  and are convinced  of  the law  as  transgressors.  [10] For  whosoever  shall keep  the whole  law,  and yet  offend  in  one  point, he is  guilty  of all.  [11] For  he that said,  not  commit adultery,  said  also,  not  kill.  Now  if  no  adultery,  yet if  thou kill,  thou art become  a transgressor  of the law.  [12] So  speak ye,  and  so  do,  as  they that shall be  judged  by  the law  of liberty.  [13] For  he shall have judgment  without mercy,  that hath shewed  no  mercy;  rejoiceth against  judgment.  [14] What  doth it profit,  brethren,  though  a man  say  he hath  faith,  and  have  not  works?  can  faith  save  him?  [15] If  a brother  or  sister  be  naked,  and  destitute  of daily  food,  [16] And  one  of  say  unto them,  Depart  in  peace,  be ye warmed  and  filled;  notwithstanding  ye give  them  not  those things which are needful  to the body;  what  doth it profit?
